Camera Finds Dude Nailing Rush's "Tom Sawyer" On Air Drums


A little while back at a Ravens game, our boy here was air drumming with the best of them. You can tell by the smile at the end that he knows that he was one with that on that imaginary 30-piece set. If only we all felt free and confident enough to air drum flawlessly in public.

Man Acts Out House Listing Gone Wrong


Why is this way better than it should be? Seriously, there's a catchy vibe going on. Outside of that though, it's a pretty good idea to act out conversations with choosing beggars or other strange people in the online housing world. There are some serious gems.

Management Illegally Bans Overtime Pay, IT Gets It All Back


Horrible management always seems to get it in their heads that they can make people work crazy hours without having to pay for it. In this case, IT did their research and worked out a plan to get the astronomical amount of overtime they earned. Here's another incompetent manager who banned overtime and had it backfire.

1.

Text - Posted by u/jbanelaw 10 hours ago 2 4 3 Manager: "Company Policy Is We Do NOT Pay For Overtime", Tech: "Sure, OK, Whatever" Epic Sometimes as a consultant you get to see how an office functions from an outsider perspective. Since you are an independent contractor the company treats you differently than an employee. Also, just due to the nature of contract work, your engagement is usually short term. This makes you a temporary fixture and sometimes are just treated as the "fly on the wall"

2.

Text - This is one of those tales. Not so much about the nuts and bolts of tech support, but more about the people and some good old fashion just desserts. Background... As a consultant, you are always going to be the "IT Guy" whether you like it or not. No matter how you market your services every single company is going to assume you can do anything with a computer. And, when business is slow, this is not necessarily a bad thing if you just need work. About 10 years ago I found myself in a sit

3.

Text - Easy stuff. The company had its own IT department, but just needed some extra hands. I was going to be one of three outside contractors that would deploy some workstations, do some server admin work, and set up some other equipment for a new department. The money wasn't the best, but it was time I had free and it was all swing shift work (meaning no traffic and I get to sleep in). Not bad. The First Day I report as requested about 3PM and talk to our contact. He was a Senior Engineer in c

4.

Text - I take the server work and see my contact who the System Administrator. Figuring he was probably gone for the day as it was mid-evening I was just going to leave him a note asking him to call me, but to my surprise he is at his desk. In fact, just about everyone in the IT department are milling around. Didn't think much of it at the time, just that it was one busy department and the guys must be pulling double shifts. He shows me the systems and I get to work. Around midnight we are wrapp

5.

Text - I left thinking, "man that is a busy place.those guys must really be pulling down the overtime...I wonder what is going on they have so much work..." as I walked out the door that night. Soon enough I would find out the deal. Friday Night Head to the work site a little early on Friday figuring if we all pull a long night we should be able to wrap it up and all get our weekend back. Things are going great and we are ahead of schedule so the Senior Engineer offers to take us out a local din

6.

Text - At the diner: Senior Engineer (SE): "I want to thank you guys for all your hard work. We are all overworked and when we got approval to contract out this job everyone was excited." IT Guy (me): "Hey glad to be of service. Looks like you guys are crazy busy. Is everyone pulling doubles and doing weekends to handle your ticket load?" SE: "Oh we are understaffed so we all have to pull extra hours..." Me: "That sucks, but must be some great overtime..."

7.

Text - SE: "Overtime...not really...we are all salaried...some loophole or something...we just put in the time because we all need the job right now..." The conversation trailed off from there, but it left me thinking, "in this state most IT workers are eligible for overtime as a matter of law...there is no loophole like that.something isn't right.." Back at the work site... I'm in the network closet with the Systems Administrator hooking up some ports and finishing the server work. He is a frie

8.

Text - Systems Admin (SA): "Oh yeah, it has been like this for a year. 60 hours is a light week these days. It is bullshit." Me: "Yeah the other guy said you don't get overtime..." SA: Laughs. "That is what the boss tell us. Let me show you something." He pulls up an email exchange he had with his manager. It is dated about 10 months ago and makes the very point I thought that the entire department should be getting overtime and the law requires it. His boss' response in bold and caps was "IT IS

9.

Text - Me: "Look I'm not a lawyer, but you might want to call up the labor department..I'm pretty sure it is illegal for you to not be getting overtime..." Then to my surprise, the SA pulls up another email from his personal account. "Oh it is blatantly illegal. I asked a lawyer and this was his response." (He showed me a memo explaining the law and that most likely a lawsuit would be successful. This was dated about nine months ago.) Me: (confused) "So you guys know you should be getting overti

10.

Text - SA: "No but we will. Here is the kicker. According to the lawyer the labor department will look back at the hours we put in for the last 12 months and award us retroactive overtime. So all of us just log our time and keep records then in about a month we are going to file a claim all together. The company is going to be on the hook for all that overtime and they won't be allowed to fire any of us for reporting them either." (Then the coup de grace...) SA: "We all figured when this whole t

11.

Text - Damn. That is some cold stone strategizing. Me: "How many hours do you think you guys have piled up?" SA: "Hard to tell. Everyone keeps their own paper logs to keep it quiet. We also don't talk about it too much so nothing gets out but last time we met outside of work it was a boat load of time. I figure, for myself, they will owe me about 13-14 months of salary in overtime and when it is all said and done, add up damages, penalties, interest, it will probably total almost two years of pa

12.

Text - We finished up the job that night. I exchanged contact information with a few guys and said if they had any other contract work to think about giving me a call. That was it, until... Three Months Later... I am at another job and see an email come in from the Systems Administrator, subject line "Overtime Claim": "Hey IT Guy - Hope you are doing well. We all ended up filing a big overtime claim with the state and the company fired us for supposedly falsifying our timesheets. The lawyer is s

13.

Text - I agreed to talk to the investigator and got a call about a week later. He asked me some routine questions about times and dates and wanted me to email him over some proof I did the job. Then he started going into the details of the case. "We got this company for probably a million in overtime and damages between all the guys in the department plus the firing is probably illegal so that is going to be another few hundred thousand on top of it. The insurance company wants to settle and onc

14.

Text - "Just wanted to let you know we settled this whole thing. Company caved pretty quick once it was clear we kept honest logs of our time and the local management violated parent company regulations for the sake of making their site budget look better. Can't go into details, but we all got sizable checks, enough to pay off some loans, and go back to school. I'll have to find a new job but after I get my grad degree that shouldn't be an issue. Appreciate you talking to the investigators. Than

Spelling Fails That Left Us Emotionally Robbed


Spelling can be challenging, but there's sort of a base level that most of us should be comfortable with by now. That's not the case. We see spelling fails all the time. The really good ones are when people homebrew their own creative spelling of a popular phrase. No, it doesn't make sense to suffer from day jaw food, but that's just how regrettable and dumb spelling fails go.

Tumblr Thread: Becoming an Ant God


It stands to reason that if you saw a circle of ants chanting your name, you wouldn't just ignore it. Well, you shouldn't ignore ants in general; that's how you get ants. But still, if they formed a tiny circle and started praising you, it would be hard to let go. This tumblr thread takes the premise to its logical conclusion of roommate disputes being fought through the lens of ant holy war. Here's another good one about tumblr imagining aliens being fought off by wildlife.

1.

Text - cerothenull S quinnred probablybadrpgideas If Cthulhu can be summoned by humans who are so far beneath it, why can't humans be summoned by ants? The answer is they should be. 20thcenturyvole Well if a bunch of ants formed a circle in my house l'd certainly notice, try to figure out where they'd all come from, and possibly wreak destruction there.

2.

Text - weasowl That's why knowing and correctly pronouncing the true name is so important to the ritual. Imagine how impossible it would be to not go take a look if the circle of ants started chanting your name. And they're like, you can't leave because we drew a line made of tiny crystals - now you have to do us a favor. And you're like, let's just see where this goes "yup, you got me.. what's the favor?" and usually the favor is like, "kill this one ant for us" or "give me a pile of sugar" and

3.

Text - And SOMEtimes you get asked for things you can't really do, one of them, she's like, "I love this ant but she won't pay any attention to me, make me important to her" and you're like.. um? how? So you just kill every ant in the colony except the two of them, ta-da! problem solved! and the first ant is like *horrified whisper* "what have I done" weasowl for some reason my brain won't let go of this one, so...

4.

Text - Meanwhile another colony of ants invades your house, and evidently that last ant has gotten some of them to join her in a circle and taught them the ritual because you're coming out of the bathroom one day and you hear the ants singing your name. Sure enough it's that ant, but she's dark and fucked up noW, and she's like, “kill the queen. I will rule this colony" and you're like, sure, I guess I kinda owe her, and you do it. And she manages to become queen, and they worship you. Which is

5.

Text - ants; you teach them some extra words and when hear them you go see what's up. Usually. Also just to your name, if you're bored. And, sometimes some of the ants are like, tell us more human names, and you're kind of jealous of the idea of some other human diluting your private godhood, so you refuse. Your roommate Greg is like, yo, that's fucking awesome, I want ant worshipers! But whenever he approaches any, they run away, because it turns out that the illusion of control from the named

6.

Text - So you show up at the colony, and you're like, "yo, witch queen, did you think there would be no price for all these things? Your colony must do something for me, go to the Room of the Housemate, I will meet you there." And you go sit on the couch and play Overwatch for a while. You're like, right there, you can clearly see the ants all marching along the wall to Greg's room, but to them you're not even there, you're so far away they can't see you. It takes them, like, an ant week to make

7.

Text - over and by the time they've chanted your name once, you're there. "right, hold on" and you look around and you see a twelve-pack of Greg's precious fucking soda, that he keeps in his room and refuses to ever share, even though it's a communal food household and you share your hot chocolate with him all the time. So you gather the ants unto you, and you poke a little hole in each of the sodas and you leave the room to the sound of the ants rejoic- ing. Greg will suspect of course, but he'

8.

Text - But later, while you're at work, Greg destroys most of the colony in a rage, and you come home to find the witch queen gasping her last "the Dew of the Mountain, which you had us steal, was cursed - and so I lay my curse on you" and then she dies. Well first of all, you don't really believe in curses, but last month you didn't believe ants could know your name, so that's unsettling. And second of all, you feel kind of bad. You know, not SUPER bad, cause she's like, an ant. But still. And

9.

Text - But Greg has done more than kill a bunch of the colony. As you wait for eggs and pupae to replenish the ant population, you discover he has found some ants that didn't go on the Mountain Dew raid, and he's spared them, told them his name, and made himself a good sized cult in YOUR fucking ant queendom. Greg has started locking his door. So now you NEED the ants. Once again you direct the ants loyal to you to journey to Greg's room. You meet them at the door. A locked door means nothing to

10.

Text - sition. But you need them to get inside. You're going to put itching powder in his underwear drawer and leave a raw fish under his bed. So you instruct the leading party of ants how to go into the Cave of Keyhole, and position the Magic Megaliths inside just right to enable the opening of the Great Door and allow you to pass into the Realm of Housemate. Crouched by the door, you can hear when your ants are met by a party of Greg Cultists, who insist that if the Great Door is opened, the c

11.

Text - To find Greg! In his room all along! It's a trap! His cultists attack you! I mean, they can't do much real harm, but it kind of hurts and it's super annoying. You order your ants to attack him, and they do, but he storms over and pours bleach down the colony entrance. Now you and Greg are at war, and you both understand the unspoken rules to your fight. You can't do things directly to each other, why, that would be assault. But anything you can get your ants to do is fine, because "she to

Text - Later, nursing your anger, you confer with your few remaining ants and stare moodily at your new prize, the ant farm that came in the mail. Bullet ants don't usually get along with sugar ants, but you're betting they will if a god tells them to. Meanwhile, you've got a laptop schematic to go over with your high priestess. It's finals week, and if you time it right, he'll lose everything... weasowl Feel free to add your own stories paralleling human/otherworldly with insect/human interacti

Text - titleknown @zuzu-and-friends, @bogleech, @tyrantisterror tyrantisterror "Human baffled at a bunch of ants inexplicably calling it by name" is a better characterization for an eldritch abomination than 99% of eldritch abominations in fiction. Source: probablybadrpgideas
